After 4 years of trying with 3 different suppliers. I have finally succeeded in achieving what I consider to be the ultimate lightweight case for hurdy-gurdy. It is designed for the full size lute bodied instrument but by its' flexible nature, it also holds my compact range snugly. Most flat backed hurdy gurdies will also be comfortably protected. Should the case not fit your instrument, simply return it for a full refund of the £95.00 purchase price. .
The base of the case is built from a heavy duty foam which takes on the double curvature of the lute body. The exterior is a silver grey waterproof fabric and the internal padding comprises 10mm high density foam covered with a black soft synthetic material.
Far more than a gig bag, this case has the benefit of internal zipped compartments on the sides and top which incorporate semi rigid plastic sheets. The effect of these panels is to strengthen the form of the bag making it feel rather more like a hard case although the case weighs under 2.4 kg.
While I could not recommend using it as a flight case, it is ideal for day to day protection of the instrument .
Bottle sized external pockets complete the usefulness of the bag, zip away shoulder straps complete the comfort of carrying it.
